Losmandy StarLapse

Losmandy’s StarLapse is the wonderful tool for time lapse nature photography. As far as I know, this looks the only one which has the programmable panning function. See the result.

Test run of a panning time-lapse movie on a Losmandy Star Lapse mount and a new Sigma 12-24mm wide-angle lens, set at 12mm focal length. The camera used was a Nikon D700 @ ISO 6400, 30 second exposures at f/4.5. Panning was at 15 deg/hr rate, starting from the north and panning eastward.
